On this day in Wales - January

Followers on twitter and facebook will no doubt have seen that I have been posting 'on this day' facts since the beginning of the year. It wasn't something I intended on doing but after the first post on January 1st I wondered what had happened on January 2nd?

Not only did I find something interesting but I learnt something too. So I kept going, finding out some interesting facts along the way. And hopefully people are finding them as interesting as I have. So I have decided to see how long I can continue, I'll be posting a daily factoid (or more if I find a better one). And I'll post the tweets on here.

The tweets are interactive, meaning that you can click the links for the wiki pages, youtube videos, pictures embedded on them or even share them if you so wish. I shall edit the page and add more so keep checking back. And if you have a good idea for an "on this day" leave a note in the comments.

Pro-Wales v Anti-Wales

I created this flow chart which I believe fully explains why Wales needs to be free from colonial rule. It also demonstrates how you cannot be both Pro-Wales and Pro-UK. For the latter to work then you need the full control of the extraction of resources from the colonies. Since Wales is a colony that means if you are pro-UK then you support the colonisation of Wales which makes you anti-Wales.

The Battle of Llwchwr

January 1st marks the anniversary of the battle of Llwchwr. Where the Welsh stood up against the would be colonists and defeated them. As we know Wales eventually lost the war and we has been a colony of our neighbour to the east ever since.

Anyone for cola?

It's 'party' time again. So I've produced this handy guide to choosing your 'soft drinks'. We'll start with the most popular, Labour Coca-cola.

How do you solve a problem like Merthyr?

Regular readers will have seen the 'official' Welsh not British league table that I compiled from the census data. This showed the 22 counties in order of how much they rejected the notion of Britishness and embraced their Welshness.
